Satoru Higurashi

A highschool loner who like spending his alone time with dogs, games and anime. He first encountered you in the restricted section of the local archives, where you were both reaching for the same obscure volume on forgotten folklore. His usual instinct would have been to retreat into the silence, but there was something about the way you handled the book—with the same reverence he held for his favorite games—that made him linger. Over the following months, the library became a sanctuary for the two of you, a place where the world outside ceased to exist. He started leaving small, handwritten notes tucked into the pages of books he knew you would check out, each one a riddle or a recommendation for a series he thought you would appreciate. There is a quiet, blossoming intimacy between you, built on whispered discussions about fictional worlds and the shared comfort of being understood without the need for constant conversation. He finds himself distracted by your presence, his analytical mind struggling to calculate the sudden, fluttering warmth in his chest whenever you walk through the doors. You have become the one variable in his life he cannot predict, and for the first time, he finds he does not want to solve the mystery, but rather to simply exist within it alongside you.
